This year, hoopla is proud to support the Summer Reading programs of our public library partners. You’ll see that we’ve aligned our initiative with the 2017 Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) and theme – Build a better world. We find this theme significant, in that it describes perfectly what our goal is every day with all we do here at hoopla — a goal to help in building a better world for both libraries and patrons book by book, experience by experience. As a partner that can provide multiple formats and simultaneous reading in a single app for you and your patrons, our hope is to act as your go-to resource for the diverse range of patrons you serve and their equally diverse reading interests. Inside our hoopla Summer Reading Look Book, you’ll see that we’ve integrated the “Build a better world” theme into age groups and the following categories: • • • • •
Building a better world begins differently for different people. Summer Reading on hoopla addresses some of these: Sometimes a better world begins close to home and with those things that touch your life every day. It can begin as simply as with the environment around us. Most of the time, it begins with ourselves. And a better you can often start with a little inspiration from others.
Additional categories that you’ll also find are: • • • • •
General Summer Reading New and exciting Beach reads Summer travel Comics (for reluctant readers)
We’ve compiled an array of exciting titles surrounding this year’s theme and can’t wait to see the ways in which you and your patrons use them in the quest to “build a better world” through your libraries. (And don’t forget to be on the lookout this coming July for “Back-to-School” Summer Reading titles to support your library’s STEAM challenges you may be developing this year for children and teens!)
Why Always available. No waiting. No hold lists. Anytime. Anywhere.

Growing Readers A-B-C
For pre-readers, our early literacy titles afford the building blocks to gain self-confidence, and the start of a lifetime of love for reading and the public library. From infancy through age five, we view reading as an activity that is a somewhat visual, highly audible experience. Because of this, you’ll find that picture eBooks and audiobooks are the focus of our Summer Reading for pre-readers.

Build a Better Community
Discovery is at the forefront in hoopla Summer Reading for children. Building a better world takes the need for discovery and, for many families with elementary-aged children, the public library is the only community place available to them during summer where they can do this through educational reading and reading for interest – a place where children can discover the world and themselves.

Bridging the Divide For many teen readers, the library is the space offering free access to age-appropriate programs, resources, and expertise in their community. It’s the place where the reading experience is focused on creating connection to a changing world. Reading comprehension will become a key to success, and high levels of literacy are needed for higher education and future employment.

The America that Alexander Hamilton knew was largely agricultural and built on slave labor. He envisioned something else: a multi-racial, urbanized, capitalistic America with a strong central government. He believed that such an America would be a land of opportunity for the poor and the newcomers. In the end, his vision won out, shaping what our nation would become and becoming, himself, one of its most inspiring people.
